Are you looking for an easy weeknight dinner ideas? Pork and Potato stew is a good dish that I recommend. It is easy to make and can be eaten with different side dishes such as whit rice, wild rice, or even unsalted crackers.
I like the consistency and overall taste of Pork and Potato Stew. The all-purpose flour did a great job in making the sauce thick, while the spices blended together to create a mild flavor that is just right to the palate.
I used pork shoulders for this recipe. Beef can also be used, but I suggest that you add more cooking time to make the beef tender. The chicken stock, on the other hand, was used for a purpose. Pork and chicken tastes good when combined and that is the simple reason why I used chicken stock.

can i add beef stock instead of chicken stock?
Allison says
Hi I am here in Okinawa and they don’t seem to sell Roma/ plum tomatoes. Will regular tomatoes still work?
Vanjo Merano says
Hi Allison -- when you say regular tomato, are you referring to beefsteak tomato? If yes, then this should also be possible as long as it is ripe.
Leo says
I tried this but never achieved its reddish color in the picture. Any suggestions?
Vanjo Merano says
Leo -- try using ripe to overripe tomato. This taste sweeter and makes the stew reddish.
Allan says
